Abstract
Dementia imposes a tremendous burden on patients, caregivers, and society. Alzheimer disease alone causes more than 360 000 new cases in the United States annually,1 with a national annual cost of caring for such patients of more than $50 billion.2 This burden has spurred a search for modifiable factors that cause or prevent dementia.Keywords
